Banner has introduced Absorbent Glass Matt (AGM) technology into its Buffalo Bull battery offering in order to help deliver optimum power for long-distance trucks.
The company claims that, in addition to delivering unrivalled starting power, as well as short-distance and irregular driving profiles in stop-and-go traffic, and daily cold starts in icy temperatures; the Buffalo Bull AGM also has the capacity to meet the increasing range of additional electrical consumers in CVs, such as air conditioning, auxiliary heating, refrigerators, lights and entertainment systems.
Differentiating the Buffalo Bull from conventional SHD batteries, AGM technology sees battery acid absorbed and bound into a glass fleece. This prevents capacity loss due to acid stratification and guarantees increased cyclical stability and improved corrosion resistance. Another plus is the battery’s ability to withstand extreme vibration resistance, even when the battery is mounted integrally at the rear of a truck.
Furthermore, the company says that the Buffalo Bull AGM delivers when it comes to optimal charge absorption, as it charges up within nine hours while driving at low voltage (14.3 V/battery). This, it is claimed, makes it possible for a driver to stay overnight in the vehicle for up to one week while using multiple electrical consumers.
